It's a crime that I never heard this song until 2022, when I'm 59 years old...

Hear me out...

My kid is obsessed with this song – because she got this doll set for Christmas.

It's a really well-made pop punk song. The songwriters hired to write this earned every penny they were paid for their souls. The chorus is catchy; I wish I'd written it. And check out the punk guitar solo at 1:42, how the song modulates during the solo, and modulates again before the last verse. Perfection.

And of course the doll company, those devils, they devised a doll set that even a fashion-hating, punk-era dad like me would hold his nose and buy for a little girl pleading for an LOL doll.

Fuck you, MGA Entertainment, Inc. You took my money.

this is a rough translation:

I think she loves me. In an email it said, "I love you Geir."
I'm not good at English, so I hope I'm not mistaken.
I could have found an old woman here at home.
But as I got older, I was afraid I would be late.
I went to the pub, where I drank beer.
But the ones I find there are as old as myself.
Then there are a lot of beers with her I found online in from Thailand. Jaa ..

I think she loves me. In an email it said, "I love you Geir."
I'm not good at English, so I hope I'm not mistaken.
"I look forward to seeing you, can not wait, I love you Geir."
"I know I'm the right one, you must not delete this, greetings Geir."

I know people say, "This is a terrible thing, she's too young."
But Brit who talks the most, yes, she looks like a horse, she's too heavy.
Maybe I've started to get more picky with age.
A little nice dark one, which is long haired.
This is what girls look like down in Thailand. Yes..

Oh my indeed! Sounds like the kind of thing Shu-bi-dua would have done in the 70s......

And you should stop searching for Thai brides online

Saw JD Simo last night. Can't tell you how long it's been since I saw a way too loud, kick ass rock and roll. It was glorious. Here he is with Tommy Emanuel on electric covering The Beatles by way of Joe Cocker.

ah yes Blooby.  That is proper right there.  The tones and the playing and the vocals are superb.  The mix is great.  What I really love is the drums and the bass player.  This is tight as all heck.  It's like Frampton, Townsend, Clapton, and Ralphs all morphed into 2 people one of which gotta little Cocker in him.  This is about as good as it gets.
